About This Plant
Warm caramel-gold foliage makes Caramel Coral Bells a standout in the garden, especially when paired with deep greens, burgundy foliage, or dark-flowering perennials. The rounded leaves emerge in shades of amber and peach, holding their warm color through the growing season. Delicate cream-to-pink flower spikes rise above the foliage in summer, adding an airy contrast to this colorful, easy-care perennial.
Planting & Care
How to Plant
Choose a shady spot with under 3 hours of direct sun. Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and plant at the same depth it was growing, gently loosening the roots. Water deeply after planting and add 2–3 in of mulch, keeping it off the stems. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9.
Watering & Feeding
Water deeply 1–2 times a week for the first season, about 1 in per week. Keep soil evenly moist, especially during heat and dry spells. Top-dress with compost in spring; most perennials don't need much fertilizer.
Pruning & Seasonal Care
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Cut back after a hard frost, or leave stems standing for winter interest and tidy up in spring. Divide every 3–4 years if the center thins. Mulch in late fall to protect roots through the first winter.
